2nd Week October 27th Learn to reduce and manage anxiety

2nd Week - October 27th - Learn to reduce and manage anxiety

Repeat from last week:

• The normal Understanding of anxiety
• The Buddhist way of Understanding anxiety
  • mainly Self-cherishing,Self-directed anger
• Suggesting from our own experience how to reduce these - possible ideas:
  • Patience - purposeful training ourselves to be able to bear peacefully unpleasant states of mind -> this one is so helpful
    • returning to explaining delusions and how reality seen by delusions is not reality -> learning to go against the appearance
  • Love - cherishing others -> as a method to reduce self-cherishing => reduce fear
  • Wisdom - Learning to accept impermanence or emptiness of the self and the situation -> as a method to reduce fear
